UNBG Rust SDK Workspace

Rust-first, local-only SDK workspace for background removal across CLI, Tauri, and native mobile.

Start Here (Consumer Integrations)

If you are integrating this SDK into an app, use these guides first:

• Tauri consumer quickstart: docs/TAURI_CONSUMER.md
• Android consumer quickstart: docs/ANDROID_CONSUMER.md
• iOS consumer quickstart: docs/IOS_CONSUMER.md
• Common troubleshooting: docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md

Workspace crates

• apps/unbg-cli: CLI entrypoint with model management commands.
• crates/unbg-core: shared inference policy and core contracts.
• crates/unbg-model-registry: model directory and lockfile types.
• crates/unbg-installer: local model install and verification flow.
• crates/unbg-runtime-ort: ONNX runtime integration surface (stubbed).
• crates/unbg-image: image sizing helpers (placeholder utilities).
• crates/unbg-bench: benchmark case definitions.
• crates/unbg-uniffi: shared FFI-safe boundary for mobile bindings.
• integrations/tauri-plugin-unbg: Tauri adapter over the shared core/runtime.
• integrations/android-unbg: Android bridge contract for local inference.
• integrations/ios-unbg: iOS bridge contract for local inference.
• apps/smoke-tests: cross-runtime conformance smoke tests.

Commands

cargo build
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- models install --model fast
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- models install --all
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- models list
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- models verify
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- exec -i ./input.jpg
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- exec -i ./input.jpg -o ./out/cutout.png
cargo run -p unbg-cli -- exec -i ./input.jpg -m ./out/mask.png -M quality
cargo run -p smoke-tests
cargo test

exec defaults to model fast and writes <input>_cutout.<ext> in the same directory when no output flags are provided. If required models are missing, exec installs them automatically before inference.

CLI Install One-Liners

Use these commands:

irm https://unbg.io/install.ps1 | iex

curl -fsSL https://unbg.io/install.sh | sh

Installer scripts are included at the workspace root as install.ps1 and install.sh. They auto-detect OS and architecture, then download the matching GitHub Release archive for unbg.

Optional environment overrides:

• UNBG_INSTALL_REPO (default: unbgio/core-sdk)
• UNBG_INSTALL_VERSION (default: latest, or set a tag like v0.1.0)
• UNBG_INSTALL_DIR (default: per-user bin directory)
• UNBG_BINARY_NAME (default: unbg / unbg.exe)

Model Bundle Prep

Use the helper script to prepare packaged model bundles for consumers:

# Tauri package: rmbg-1.4 + rmbg-2.0 (requires HF token)
HF_TOKEN=... scripts/prepare-model-bundle.sh --profile tauri-full --out ./dist/model-bundles/tauri

# Mobile package: rmbg-1.4 fp16 only
scripts/prepare-model-bundle.sh --profile mobile-lite --out ./dist/model-bundles/mobile

Both profiles run install + verify and write a full model directory that you can ship with your app and pass as modelDir in platform APIs.

Recommended profiles:

• tauri-full: rmbg-1.4 + rmbg-2.0 (requires HF_TOKEN)
• mobile-lite: rmbg-1.4 fp16 only

rmbg-2.0 is gated and requires HF_TOKEN during install. Model aliases: fast -> rmbg-1.4, quality -> rmbg-2.0.

Integration Packaging

• Android AAR: scripts/build-android.sh
• iOS XCFramework: scripts/build-ios.sh
• Tauri plugin mode: cargo build -p tauri-plugin-unbg --features tauri-plugin

CI workflows are defined under .github/workflows/ for workspace checks plus Tauri/Android/iOS artifacts.

Compatibility and Security

• API compatibility policy: docs/API_COMPATIBILITY.md
• Security/release hygiene: docs/SECURITY_RELEASE.md
• Compatibility snapshot check: python scripts/check-api-compat.py
• Artifact manifest generation: scripts/release-manifest.sh
• Artifact signing helper: scripts/sign-artifacts.sh

Telemetry sinks can be configured with:

• UNBG_TELEMETRY_SINK=stdout|file|http
• UNBG_TELEMETRY_FILE=/path/to/telemetry.log (for file sink)
• UNBG_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT=https://example.com/events (for http sink)
